In this message, we’re challenged to examine where we’ve settled in our walk with the Lord. Using Israel’s exodus from Egypt to the Promised Land, the speaker shows how easily we can stop short of God’s complete purpose for our lives. Have you camped at your salvation experience (Egypt)? Are you celebrating your baptism (Red Sea) without moving forward? Perhaps you’ve found comfort in spiritual gifts (wilderness provision) or biblical knowledge (Mount Sinai) but missed the deeper calling.God’s ultimate purpose isn’t just to save us or fill us with His Spirit, but to build us together as living stones into Christ’s body—where we experience true union with Him and genuine unity with each other. This unity flows not from agreement on doctrines but from our shared position in Christ. The message reminds us that through the finished work of the Lamb, every spiritual enemy standing between us and God’s purpose already lies defeated. Let’s move forward together into the fullness God intends.

About Lance Lambert
Lance Lambert was one of the most distinguished Bible scholars and speakers in Israel in our day. He had an itinerant teaching ministry worldwide.
Born in 1931, Lance grew up in Richmond, Surrey and came to know the Lord at twelve years of age. He entered the school of African and Oriental studies at London University to prepare for work in China. In school, he studied Classical Chinese, Mandarin, Oriental Philosophy and Far Eastern History. However, the revolution closed the door to European missionaries and his entry into China.
In the early 1950’s, Lance served in the Royal Air Force in Egypt. Later, he fellowshipped with the assembly at Halford House Christian Fellowship in Richmond, England.
Having discovered his Jewish ancestry, Lance became an Israeli citizen in 1980. He had his home next to the Old City of Jerusalem. His father and many members of his family died in the Holocaust. At last, Lance went to be with the Lord in 2015.
Lance is noted for his eschatological views, which place him in the tradition of Watchman Nee and T. Austin-Sparks. He produced a widely appreciated quarterly audio recording called the Middle East Update. The MEU gave his unique perspective on current events in the Middle East in the light of God’s Word. He has written numerous books and is presenter of the video production, Jerusalem, the Covenant City.
Lance desired for his ministry to continue to be available to future generations when he went on to be with the Lord. This is our desire as well. We hope to preserve the heart of the Lord shared through Lance. May many more may be encouraged and prepared as we wait together for our Lord’s return!
